Someone will doubtless say "oh yeah, I heard some DirecTV/Dish/etc.
boxes have firewire outputs."  They always do.  Unfortunately in my
experience with myth, I have NEVER heard of an actual (currently
available and compatible with current codecs) box for either provider
with firewire, nor of anyone capturing with Myth with them.  In my
experience, it's 100% hearsay.
